Powertrain mocked up.
6.0 L out of a 2004 chevy that was rolled.
Only 10,500 miles on it.
It's a "drive by wire" setup so I scavaged the TAC module and throttle peddle along with the engine wiring harness and ECM.
Trans is a good ol' TH400.
T-case is a STAK 3 speed monster box. :greg:
1410 yokes.

lookin good so far!!! when do you think you'll be done???
Thanks Tacoma
Well, I'll admit that I'm behind schedule.
I basically spent a total of 4 months in Oklahoma this year which put a damper on things. I would like to have the chassis 100% complete before winter so I can work on funner things (electrical, plumbing, suspension, etc) over the winter months.
The only "big ticket" items that I have left to buy are the coilovers, which will be 2.5" fox or swayaway's.

You must have a big family & a lot of friends!!
Looks awesome! I just pulled the throttle cable & TAC of my donor truck this morning. Pretty simple setup. What are the HP & TQ specs on the 6.0? A friend has one in a 3/4 ton truck & it was a grunty motor. It ought to be perfect for your buggy.

Man that is a lot of work in one day. I wish I had the tools and the skills to do something like that.

LOL, big family yes, and one can never have enough friends (unless they're named Cody... JK
).Specs I've found on the motor says approx 310 horse and 365 ft/lbs. I need to have the ECM flashed in order to defeat the VATS system, omit 2 o2 sensors, etc. Supposedly they can also tune the ecm at the same time for an additional 35 - 40 horse & ft/lbs. I'll either use jims performance or wait 4 me performance for the computer and harness work.
Thanks
Take any styling cues from Dan Dibble's rig?
Let's just say that Dibble was VERY influential in this build.
Thanks Carl.
